hey guys

just wondering. i just purchased a set of garrett 2860 -7's for my 33gtr and i will be using the stock ecu til i save up some more money. Question is.: would it run and be ok with 12 psi of boost with the stock ecu?

also how would it go with these mods for power. just want to keep it simple and mild.

internally stock gtr.

pfc ( soon)

cooler is bigger than stock 100mm thick+ hiflowed metalic cat

3 and 1/4 cat back + jjr front pipes

apexi pods

also can the stock gtr ecu be remapped?

thanks pplz :D

Anth.

I am not exactly sure but i would say it would be ok to drove it only if you treat it nicely, no thrashing as the ecu might have a fit. It probably wont run very well. Id stick with the pfc i know you can remap the gtst so i am sure you could do it to the gtr.

Try ringing a workshop if your not sure.

It can be remapped, but I believe it's a good idea to wait until you get the power FC anyway. That way you only need 1 retune. I mean, unless you're really nervous about one of your ceramic turbos... just wait IMO. Occasionally they get sold on here for 600-$1,000 sometimes with a commander etc. Keep an eye out.

Definitely go power fc; at least you will have a factory ECU spare for EPA

1500-1900 will get you the fc + handcontroller + tune

plus you can always add mods and have a quick dyno tune to get them to run optimally

it'll run fine.. -7s r like N1 turbos anyway

the comp will be fine.. im running -10s with my stock comp.. but only on 7psi lol but still!

and it runs it with 272deg cams in n out and plenty of other work... sure its been remapped b4 to run bigger turbos in japan, but they werent overly massive... just under 300kw on pretty much 16psi...

The stock comp remap allows u to stay legal somewhat... u could always argue its stock :P

yer stock fuel pump should be fine.. im still running the stock fuel pump n injectors.. although @ near 300awkw.. they were startin to run real lean... so im gonna need new injectors or atleast a nice hike in fuel pressure...

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
